How to Pay

Fare is required from all passengers on all routes. If you haven’t taken the bus before, the idea of paying the fare could seem a little confusing, but it’s really pretty simple.

Mountain Line is a very economical way to travel especially with today’s gas prices. Regular cash fare is seventy five cents you can use coins or a bill but note that neither the fare box nor the driver can make change. Instead you will receive from the fare box a change card worth the value of your change that you can use towards the fare for your next ride.

If you ride frequently you may want to consider a pass. Fifteen ride passes are available for sale at the Westover terminal and are sold at a discounted rate of ten dollars. These passes are good for fifteen rides whenever you want to go. A thirty day pass is good for people who use the bus often like commuters. Thirty day passes are available at the depot and are sold at a discounted rate of thirty five dollars and is good on all local routes for 30 days from the first day you use the pass.

Passes may be purchased at our Westover terminal located by Goodwill and across from Ervin's Morgantown Auto Body.
